Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End Assembly P/N:543-189
Help keep your steering response tight and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 543-275, a front-position direct-fit replacement for the 1996-1999 Acura SLX, 1995-2002 Isuzu Trooper and 1999-2001 Isuzu Vehicross. A tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle. It passes your steering input to the wheel and pivots as the wheel turns and the suspension moves.
Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, clunking or knocking when turning, and uneven front tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so inspect the system before ordering. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this steering tie rod end assembly replaces it. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full fitment details.
